crossing that river delta out there in Katmai, it's like you can't tell what it

Although the team is behind in their journey, Brent and Tyler stop to try and gain some much needed protein. "We're eight weeks into this and we're run
down. Our energy level is low, and it's
going to be really important for us to get some food in our stomachs." - Brent
